Bug#900407: RFS: odp-dpdk/1.19.0.0-1 [ITP]
control: tag -1 +moreinfo
control: owner -1 !
Hi Dmitry,
Thank you for the package. It looks good except for several flaws:
1. error in postrm script, which causes error on removal
update-alternatives: error: alternative name (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libodp-linux.so.119) must not contain '/' and spaces
dpkg: error processing package libodp-dpdk119:amd64 (--remove):
installed libodp-dpdk119:amd64 package pre-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
libodp-dpdk119:amd64
2. the alternatives priority of the .so file and .so.119 file should be
the same.
3. Similar to src:odp, the copyright file of odp-dpdk is not complete:
grep -ri copyright | grep -vi linaro | grep -i copyright
Apart from that, I have to ask a few questions about this package:
>From README.DPDK
> DPDK only works on a selected range of network cards.
11. Does it support any open-sourced/free network card, which doesn't
require binary blobs? If it does not support open-sourced/free
hardwares, which means non-free drivers are indirectly required
by this package. In this case I'd suggest this package go to
contrib section instead of main.
-Section: libs
+Section: contrib/libs
12. This implementation is specifically optimized for several architectures.
Does that mean this implementation leverages specific instruction sets,
e.g. NEON (arm), AVX (amd64), VSX (ppc)?
